Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on moving companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have everything packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service mover will provide packing services, which can be very helpful if you dread packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which local movers meet New Jersey's licensing requirements for movers. Other ways to research a company's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of Chatham's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to select from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to verify that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
